Many tracks do not have an early turn off, which makes the difference between the run time of 1/8th mile vs 1/4 mile negligible in many circumstances. Also, you would have to give additional time trials to all of the throttle stop categories, as their setups are different for 1/8 vs 1/4.

Might have had a chance to finish on Sunday...as an 1/8th mile event? Just wondering?
While hindsight is 20/20, when faced with a potentially rainy forecast, you could make up more time by starting eliminations after the 2nd qualifying run instead of having 3 or more qualifying sessions.
